When you mean average, do you mean when those watching TV's on 19-21" TV's start getting LCD's/Plasma's?

Otherwise, unless our average room sizes start to increase, I don't think that average screen sizes are going to rise and rise. For Joe UK Average, me included, I can't see the norm for TV sizes changing much from 26"-32" (possibly 37") otherwise people will have a TV that dominates their average (UK) room. Other regions may have bigger rooms so a bigger TV may be reasonable, but the thought of TV's getting bigger and bigger and becoming more and more dominating in a standard living room I don't think is going to happen. And at these sort of sizes at average viewing distances, unlike the small percentage that owns a projector or doesn't mind the iMax experience in their living room, Joe is going to not be swayed by the HD resolution.

IMHO.
